Creating Healthy Work Environments
We want security and we want it everywhere. As a nation, we’re focused on national security. We schlep to work everyday for financial security. Once we get there we work hard to prove ourselves hoping for job security. We have lifestyles we want to secure and we look for it in our relationships. We secure our buildings, our computers, our accounts and our valuables. But we never seem to notice that the security people feel inside is often the least secure thing of all. Instead we install more alarms, add to our nest eggs and write new laws to protect our assets, our futures and our loved ones, when what we really need to do to make better, healthier companies is exert as much energy securing ourselves internally as we do our external environments and circumstances.

Become a Heat Seeking Missile by Robin J Elliott
Heat seeking missiles don’t have egos; they’re impartial, unattached and objective. They are goal-directed. They know exactly what they want and where they’re going. They don’t slow down or “stop to smell the roses”.
Are You Cut Out For A Career In Direct Selling
Anyone who elects to embark on a career in direct selling had better be able to sell. A person who chooses sales, even as a last resort, is making a tough decision to depend entirely on his/her own effort, pride, and willingness to practice long enough to succeed. It’s tough not to be able to hide behind a corporate security blanket, make excuses, or blame the product, the boss, the company, or anybody else. When they choose sales, they accept the risk to their egos, some people’s derision, and the fears of those not brave enough to stand up to that kind of heat. So, if a career in direct selling beckons, ask yourself the tough question – “Am I suited for a career in sales?”

WORK: Make it a Habit!
The ability to work, really know how to work is a marketable trait today more than ever. But far to many job seekers exude an attitude that the world owes them a living. Show people that you can work, that you know how to work and you are a valuable commodity. Here are a few thoughts on a simple way to leverage your future that's simple and easy if you already have what it takes. So shut up; take responsibility; go to work in finding a job or be more obvious about your work habits while at work. Just a couple of additional hours a day can make or break a career.
Clash of the Titans II
We thought we had put the Clash of the Titans behind us but Hollywood made a sequel. It gave the PC/CE industry an opportunity for the industry titans to stretch their control over the landscape even more. Titans are taking the opportunity to payback those who bruised their egos, encroached on their "territories" and just did things they didn't like. The Titan Titans -- Apple, Google, Adobe -- are hollering at each other with regularity. The other Titans are mumbling and filing law suits. Everyone -- including governmental agencies around the globe -- is watching closely to see who is doing what and to whom.

Why You Should Not Hire a Management Consulting Firm...at least not yet.
There are many strategic management consulting companies in the United States and around the world. For organizations that are looking for strategic consulting help in their business, there are so many options available to them that making a decision on the right consulting firm becomes daunting. Even with all of the available expertise, many companies never seek the outside help. Maybe that is the best for all concerned. Bringing in outside consulting help is not for everyone. When consulting companies come in to help with strategy or to solve complex business challenges, it is often an exercise that forces executives to check their egos at the door and confront their own organization’s issues and baggage. Not all companies are up for that. Are you ready?

Post Vacation - Return to Reality (Work!)
Life is truely a balancing act when it comes to work and play! We work hard to play hard. And vacation is often the tangible reward for our hard work. Not everyone can leave work at work when on vacation. But Debbie Lessin, CPA and self proclaimed Balance Lady, can and does. Debbie shares her reentry into work mode upon return from her 10 day vacation. Her calm, positive attitude helped her seamlessly ease back into work with no stress, no negating what the vacation was all about. She shares her journey and reminds us all that we not only need to take time away from work to refresh mind, body and spirit but to do so by trying to truly leave work at work!

Unselling What You Just Sold
When the buyer gives a buying signal, close the sale and leave. As a sales person don't allow your egos and pride to get in the way...
How to Read People and Influence Perceptions
I've learned in an over twenty-five year consulting career that my most effective executive coaching and leadership development clients are communication catalysts. They are authentic and help people achieve a shared purpose. They are optimistic and forward thinking. One of my law firm Managing Partner clients recently confided in me that she was having a hard time influencing several of the firm partners on a new strategy for the firm. She logically countered every differing point of view, and yet hours later no one had changed their mind. It was as if the big egos in the room were locked in a battle of who was right and blaming the others for perceived failures.
